FULL THROTTLE TEAM SCORES ANOTHER TOP-TEN FINISH

July 6, 2008. The Full Throttle/Logel's Auto Parts/
Challenger Motor Freight Dodge team were looking to continue the momentum
they had generated a week ago with another satisfying race result as
teams returned for the make up date at the Autodrome St. Eustache and 250
laps of racing this past weekend.

The Full Throttle/Logel's Auto Parts/Challenger Motor Freight Dodge
team had their work cut out for them in the early going as practice did
not go well at first. But diligence and another solid team effort got
them back in the fight.

"I'm not really sure why but we struggled at the start of
practice, then we found some improvement at the end of the session"
said driver Brad Graham. Unfortunately for time trials we drew the
second spot and had to go out on a pretty green track and that set us
back. We were only off a couple of tenths but everybody is so close that
we ended up further back than we expected". Graham would start the
250 lap feature from the twelfth position.

Using the improved handling car Graham moved the Full
Throttle/Logel's Auto Parts/Challenger Motor Freight Dodge up into
the top-ten and continued to try and work forward. "The car was
definitely better we were just surviving, kind of minding our own
business. When we got our four tires on we had pretty good track
position and we were optimistic".

Following the tire change however, something was amiss with the Full
Throttle/Logel's Auto Parts/Challenger Motor Freight Dodge.
"I'm not sure if the tires didn't react as we expected
but the handling of the car just went away toward the end of the
race" said a puzzled driver. "In the last few laps we were
just hanging on, the car was not very good in the last fifty laps, the
car was pretty loose off the corners".

Graham would us all his skills as a driver and complete the race with a
ninth place finish. "A top-ten we'll take it, but we thought
we should have been better" said the always hungry for more success
driver. "I'm ready to get going out west; we had a race win
a couple of years ago at Sun Valley and our team likes racing there.

With the ninth place finish, Brad Graham and the Full
Throttle/Logel's Auto Parts/Challenger Motor Freight team move into
ninth spot in the overall championship standings.
